Chicken and Peppadew™ Viavi avocado pasta

Serves: 2 - 4
Prep Time: 5 mins Cooking Time: 15 mins Total Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 500g pre-cooked pasta of your choice (I prefer a chickpea or rice-based pasta)
  • 2 chicken breasts, tenderized and pan-fried with olive oil, and seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 red salad onion diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp Oryx salt
  • 1 heaped tsp of minced garlic
  • 2 Viavi avocados, mashed
  • 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (I prefer Almond Breeze Unsweetened as it contains no sugar and no corn starch or sunflower oil)
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil/or herb of your choice, chopped
  • 100g chopped Peppadews™
  • 2 heaped tbsp almond flour

Instructions

1

Pre cook the pasta, rinse and allow to cool off.

2

Prepare the chicken fillets and set aside.

3

Preheat a pan with olive oil and fry onions till brown, add the raw honey, salt and garlic and allow to caramelize.

4

Mash the Viavi avocados and mix it with the almond milk and fresh herbs till it forms a creamy texture.

5

Add the almond ‘cream’ to the pan and stir well.

6

Reduce the temperature and allow the sauce to heat up slowly and simmer for a few min, if you find it too thick you can add a bit of water or another dash of almond milk.

7

Pour over the pasta and mix well.

8

Dish up, top with Chicken & Peppadew™ and sprinkle with almond flour before serving.
